Generalization and analysis of the historical experience of the first five-year plans made it possible to identify the main characteristics of the social contract between the Soviet government and the people; to determine the degree of coincidence of the interests of the state and the main classes social communities and groups, forms and methods of feedback. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of the achieved results, which brought the Soviet Union to one of the leading powers in the world.
